“You don’t like dogs, you’re afraid of them since one bit you when you were a kid. You told me the story, remember?”
“I know I’m afraid of dogs. But if I save them from being executed, they’ll like me, yeah…”
“You don’t need to get the biggest dog. Just one that’s house trained and will bark.”
“Well, maybe not the biggest, but he has to be loud, very loud…fucking big time loud.”
